Felix Mallard in ‘Ginny & Georgia’
Mallard appears in the Netflix dramedy Ginny & Georgia as Marcus Baker, an edgy 15-year-old. The show revolves around Ginny, a 15-year-old more mature than her 30-year-old mother, Georgia.
The series is set in the fictional New England hamlet of Wellsbury, where Georgia wishes to settle down with her daughter Ginny and son Austin to provide them with a better life than she had.
Mallard portrayed the love interest of Ginny, and the fraternal twin brother of Ginny’s best friend, Max Baker, in the show. The actor learned American Sign Language for his role because Marcus’s father is deaf.
The first season of the show premiered on February 24, 2021. Ginny & Georgia was renewed for a second season after the first drew 52 million views in 28 days, making it Netflix’s ninth most-viewed series.
The second season premiered on January 5, 2023, and ended with a cliffhanger — making it possible for the show to return for a third season.
